97% result and your 7th best, not bad, congrats

Congratulations! I loved it the moment I saw it. I really thought he lived on my corner in NYC, but alas, unless you were in NY, you are a tad far away for it to be! It is so wonderful.

This is a marvelous photo. However its a little too mid-tone to meet the challenge totally for me. Only removing some marks for that.
Post actions
To me, there are many similar tonal ranges and the markings on the background wall look like vines coming out of his head.
Post actions
Exceptional emotion, movement, texture.

A strong and gritty capture with definition accented to bring out the contrast. 9

I like this as a portrait, but don't see any impact from contrast.
Post actions
That is great contrast. Good job.

Very good portrait. Like how you take down the color to make it grey looking.
Post actions
excellent portrait. i love the way the background works with the foreground - colours shapes, everything.
Post actions
Wow - great candid portrait. I think the high contrast works very well here too. Good focus, lighting, and crop. Nice work.
Post actions
Awesome contrast, great subject, wonderful composition. The only criticism I have is that the guy looks a tad on the green side. Otherwise, this is one of my favorites so far.
Post actions
Great photo, the only thin I would like to see different is the background, had it been more out of focus, I think it would have been a ten.
Post actions
this would have been awesome in b&w...don't see a lot of high contrast here
Post actions
I love this image. Can't tell you why as I'm too tired. Will come back tomorrow. 8 - will bump after seeing rest. Okay, I'm back. And I'm bumping up to 10. Arguments of high contrast aside, I love the image and refuse to be dictated to. POV, DOF, focus, tones, crop, all excellent. Lighting enhances the subject. What more can I say?

Wow this guy is so fantastic! Great photo.
Post actions
WoW what is that guy thinking ??
Post actions
This is a ten without hesitation. The coloration and the detail is magnificent! His expression is so intense. WOW - you have a winner on your hands.
Post actions
Its a GREAT shot, but my first though was that its VERY flat! It doesn't say high contrast...maybe HIGH? I love the shot though. 7
